Find the gigabytes AI models, Xcode, node_modules and caches quietly keep, see when you last used each one, and clean them safely, with Undo.
For Mac · macOS 15 or later · runs on your Mac, no account
An example scan of a developer's Mac. Your numbers will differ.
AI models
Ollama, Hugging Face / MLX and LM Studio models, each with its real size and when you last used it.
Xcode & projects
DerivedData, simulator runtimes, device support, node_modules, Rust targets and Python venvs, grouped by project and last activity.
Safe by design
Everything goes to the Trash first. Nothing is removed until you confirm, and you can put it back with one click.
Automation
Storage Cleaner lives in your menu bar, rescans in the background and keeps space from quietly running out again.
Privacy
Scanning happens entirely on your Mac. No account, no uploads, no analytics.
Everything it finds
Disk visualizers tell you a folder is big. Storage Cleaner tells you what it is, when you last used it, and what happens if you remove it.

FAQ
Everything Storage Cleaner offers is either rebuilt automatically (caches, DerivedData, node_modules) or can be re-downloaded (models, runtimes). Each item says exactly what happens if you remove it, and files go to the Trash so you can Undo.
Storage Cleaner is a free direct download, signed and notarized by Apple. Scanning is free; cleaning needs a one-time license bought here. A Mac App Store edition may follow later; it would be priced and sold separately through Apple.
Not until you empty the Trash, which is what makes Undo possible. If you'd rather free space immediately, turn off "Move items to the Trash" in Settings.
Docker volumes are never offered. iPhone backups are shown (they're often huge) but marked Caution and never auto-selected or auto-cleaned.
macOS 15 Sequoia or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. No account.
